I need a new patch for my A2

[shamus]

I've been wearing a 77th Fighter Squadron, 20th Fighter Group, 8th Air Force. Patch on my A2 or a few years now...

and I'm getting tired of people asking me if I like to play cards or poker...

What are some other suggestions that people won't ask silly questions.

I like the AVG Flying tigers patch

I want something that not everyone has. I like the disney /looney toons or something with a big fat bomb on it....

Hmmm...

Here's a scan of a patch I recently purchased from Belly Tank. It's Donald Duck in a nightgown with a shotgun -- 518th Night Fighter Squadron. One of my favorite patches. Going to frame it, but there are pretty good quality repros out there. ZF

I dont have a picture of it, but the 349th Bomb squadron, 100th Bomb group (the bloody 100th) 8th AF is my favorite. Its Mickey Mouse riding a crude looking Pluto, throwing bombs.
